A political analyst believes Sen. Imee Marcos' feud with her brother, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr, will hurt her reelection bid. 

Political analyst Ronald Llamas said Marcos will need to go it alone in her reelection bid after leaving the Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial ticket of her brother.

"It will push her down dahil ngayon klaro na bumaligtad na naman siya. Ibig sabihin wala na siya sa administration slate. Hindi naman siya tinanggap doon sa Duterte slate so saan siya lulugar? Ang mangyayari sa kanya, 'yung kanyang bangka na sinubukang mamangka sa 2 ilog ay patuloy na lulubog," Llamas said in a TeleRadyo Serbisyo interview.

“Papunta ng eleksyon, dahil wala siyang makinarya, lalo siyang mababawasan ng boto,” he added. 

The Marcos name may also be of no help to the senator, Llamas said, since some Ilocanos disapprove of her fighting with her brother.

"Baka nga makabawas pa sa kanya dahil siya mismo sinabi niya nung pumunta siya sa isang lugar ay 'yung mga Ilocano na mga nanay ay pinapagalitan siya. 'Bakit inaaway mo yung kapatid mo?' Sa kultura natin hindi maganda na nag-aaway yung magkapatid," he said. 

He pointed out that Senators and half-brothers Jinggoy Estrada and Joseph Victor Ejercito both lost in the 2019 midterm elections because of a heated word war between the two.

Senator Marcos ranked 16th in the latest Social Weather Stations survey, down from rank 12-14 in the December survey.

On Thursday she said she already left her brother's Senate slate, and that she has not been speaking to him even before she led a Senate inquiry on the government's arrest and surrender of former President Rodrigo Duterte.

She likened the country to a failed state as she bared her panel's preliminary findings on the arrest of the former leader: That the Philippines had no legal obligation to arrest the former leader and turn him over to the ICC, that the government decided to assist the ICC and lastly, that the arrest violated the former leader's rights.
